Standard capacity product phase II

Effective January 1, 2010 the ISO implemented the Resource Adequacy (RA) Standard Capacity Product (SCP) as approved by FERC. Certain RA resources were temporarily exempt from the SCP standards; however FERC directed the ISO to work with stakeholders, the CPUC and LRAs to effect changes so that these exemptions could be removed. The ISO initiated the Standard Capacity Product Phase II (SCP II) effort to address this requirement.
